Naomi Novik and Charles Ardai, regency dancers and half a burlesque trope. What's not to love.

I just got back from Charles and Naomi's launch party for Victory of Eagles and Fifty-To-One, held at the Explorers Club. (Where I now realize I would like to live.) It was all too much fun, and ran much too late into the night, to report comprehensibly, except to say: it included a lot of great conversation with authors, editors, art reps, bloggers, readers, and book stores buyers; a polar bear and Peary's sleigh; Charles Knight and Tom Lovell paintings; and the always great Indian food at Agra.

I haven't read any of Naomi's books yet, but on the recommendation of John (Picacio) at this year's NorWesCon, I did buy the first 4 in the series. They're in my "To Read" stack, to which Daniel Abramoff's "Autumn War" will be added July 22.
